Ray Bailey, president emeritus.

K. Ray Bailey, president emeritus of A-B Tech, received the Michael Bennett Lifetime Achievement Award from Phi Theta Kappa, the honor society for two-year colleges, at the organization's international convention April 4 in Philadelphia.

The Bennett Award is presented to college presidents at two-year institutions and state community college directors who have been supportive of Phi Theta Kappa, and are retiring from their careers. Bailey was nominated for the award by A-B Tech students in November. In 2007, he was named the Carolinas Region Distinguished College President of the year for Phi Theta Kappa.

Bailey retired as president of A-B Tech in August 2007, after 41 years of service to the College.
